Shopping in Chicago 6/23

On Tuesday, June 22nd, we hopped on a plane and flew to Chicago. We arrived in Chicago at 1:00 a.m. Chicago time. We then jumped in Aunt Sharon's car, and adventured around Chicago until 2:00 a.m. We drove by Oprah's house, Robert Ebert's house, the Willis tower (formally known as the Sears tower), stopped at 7-11 for ice cream bars, and then settled in at our new home for the next three weeks. (For the first 5 days we get to sleep in the guest suite, complete with flat screen cable tv, mini fridge, king size bed, magazines, coffee pots, dressers, wi-fi connection and a dancing, singing dog.
On Wednesday, we awoke slowly at 11:30 a.m. We turned on some cartoons and I (Nora) opened the large windows, only to hear someone faintly calling my name.
"I think Aunt Sharon wants us downstairs," I said to Megan. So we went downstairs, only to find her, along with my Uncle Phil (who is redoing the guest bathroom) locked outside.
Later, we went grocery shopping at Aldi's, Trader Joe's and got some gelato and Whole Foods. We bought souvenirs for friends back home.
Getting home, we watched Friday Night Lights and Pretty Little Liars until 3:00 a.m.

'People Always Leave', so we gotta go.

Luv Nora&Meg
